CHICAGO, April 2. Six thousand

volt when lie stepped upon the stnge
of Hid Auilllorluin tonight, The great
building bus hold ninny it throng, but
never onn Unit was tnoro licurty ami
unstinted In Its applause for any mnn
Hum tliu crowd that tilled It tonight.
From tho (IrHt floor to the roof It. wan
packed to ltd utmost capacity. Every
seat wns occupied, ami although tho
aisles were kept clear, all the space
In thn lobbies and on the stairways
wan taken, and even tho passageways
loading to tho hall from tho lower lloor,
were Jammed with hundred of men
who wore utterly unable to hoar a word
of tho presidents address.
All that t'litno to tlii'in waA the roar
of npplauno from within and -vlht such
loyal lungH did they accept their cuo
that several tlmcH they were giving
vent to cheers when thosu on the ln
Mlile died away, and tho president hnd
resume his nddrew. Twice during the.
evening Chief of Police O'Neill Wan
compelled to send word to tho patriots
at tho door that they must cheer In
bettor time, or he would be compelled
to clear the gtalrwny.
In the street outsldn for. more than
an hour before the time net for the
opening of tho president's address a
nmoll army of policemen wiih kept
busy. Thousands of people tilled Wn
bash avenue In the rear of tho Audi
torium, Jammed Michigan avenue In
front of It, and blockaded, to the best
of its ability, Congress street which
runH at tho side of it.
The oftieers wore stretched In double
Hue along; all tho walks immediately
adjoining building, and no person
who rouTil not exhibit credential nn.

permitted upon the walk. The Jnm
fit the doom of the hall for thirty mln-
procedlngs the time at whloh the
president was to open his address, wns
of. a" character to test to tho utmost
the palenre of the police without, and
of 'the usher within..
"When the president, escorted by the
members of tho local committee, ap
peared on the platform ho was met with
great enthusiasm tho vast crowd rising
to It feet, and supplementing its
hearty cheers with waving programs
nnn nuuering nanaKorcmers.
Tho president acknowledged bin r
ceptlon by repeated bows, and at once
took his seat by Franklin MaoVeagh,
the chairman of tho committee, and
Mayor Harrison, who was to deliver
me lormai aaaresn or welcome.
Weleomd br the Mayor.
As soon as his volco could be heard
Mr. MaoVeagh In a few words an
nounced that the nation's chief exec
utive would bo made welcome to the
city by Mayor Harrison, who then
spoke briefly, extending: to thn nreil-
dent a hearty welcome and expressing
the plensure felt by the beople of Chi
cago at his visit, and offering to him
their best wishes for n hannv And
pleasant trip during his two months of
YIlUUllUll.
The president bowed hlw llmnix, t
Mayor Harrison, and to Mr. MaoVeagh
nm mwuuuueu nun io nis auuience,
and expressed IiIh pleasure at thn mr.
dial reception extended to him upon
the first stop of his long trip, and then
luriiuiK uireciiy io me audience in
front of him, proceeded In his peculiar
ly onergefle manner to deliver his ad
dress. Ho had some dltllculty in commencing
for the reason that the cheers that had
greeted his first appearance In the hall
burst forth with renewed vigor and It
was several minutes bofore he was able
hi pruceeu. xno aaaress throughout
was received in the most cordial man
ner and with much approval for tho
iiuuuii-r in wmen it wns delivered as
ui- ins iiimiiT wnicn it contained.
The. President' Addreaa,
The address was as follows:
"Mr. Chalrmun. Ladles and Clentle
men: Today I wish to speak to you.
not merely about the Monroe doctrine
but about our entiro position in tho
western hemisphere a position so pe
culiar und predominant that out of It
has grown tho acceptance of the Mon
roe doctrine as a cardinal feature of
r.ur foreign policy, and In particular I
wish to point out what has been done
during the lifetime of tho last congress
to make good our position In accord
ance with this historic policy,
"Kver since tho time when wo defi
nitely extended our boundarloH w,,i-
ward to tho I'acltlc and southward to
tho gulf, slnco tho time when tho old
Spanish and Portuguese colonies of the
south of us asserted their independent.
our nation has insisted that because of
its primacy In strength among the na
tions of tho western hemisphere It has
certain duties and responsibilities
which obllKe It to take a leading ,parr
increou. v e iiuiu mat, our interests
In this hemisphere are greater than
those of any European power possibly
am bo, and that our duty to Ourselves
and to tho wenker republics who aro
our neighbor requlreu iw to see that
nono of the great military powers from
ncrosfc the seas Bhall nucroach upon the
territory of the American republics or
acquire control thereover,
Americana Must Hnlld Carnal,
"This polloy, therefore, not only for
bids us to acqulcsco hi such territorial
acquisition, but also causes us to object
to tho acquirement of u control which
Would In its effect bo equal to terri
torial aggrandisement, This Is why
tho United Ktatcs has steadily believed
that tne construction of te great Isth
mian canal, tho building, of which Is to
stand as the greutct material feat -of
the twentieth century greater than
any similar feat in any preceding cen
tury should Imi done by no foreign na
tion but otimolves, The canal must of
necessity go through the territory of
i in of our smaller ruder republics. Wo
liavi! been scrupulously careful to ab
Htalu from perpetrating any wrong up
on tiny of Iho'u itipubllcs In this .mai
ler. Wo do not wish to Interfere with
their rights In thn least, but, while
inrefully safeguarding them, to build
iiiu iiiiiiii inn n'i en uiiuui I'liitiniuun
which will ennbln us, If necessary, to
police and protect It, and to guaranteo
lta neutrality, wo being tho sole
guarantor. Our Intention was Htend
fasli wo desired action taken so that
the r.mal could always bo used by uh In
time of pe.ice and war alike, and In
time of war could unver bo used to our
detriment by any nation which was
hostile In us. Much action, by tho cir
cumstances turn minding It, was neccH
sarlly for the benefit and not the detri
ment of thu adjacent American repub
lics, Half a Oninry llrttlnu Heady.
"After considerably more than half
of a centruy these objecta havo been
exactly fulllllud by t,ho legislation and
treaties of tho lust two years. Two
years ago wc worn no further advanced
toward ' the construction of the Isth
mian canal on our termi than we had
been during the preceding eighty years,
Hy the Iliiy-Pnunccfote treaty, rati
fied In December, 1901, an old treaty
with Oreat Hrltalu, which had boon
held to Mtanil In thu way, was abro
gated and It was nirrecd that tho canal
should be constructed under the
uusp'cps of the government of the
United Htnles. and that this govern
ment should have tho exclusive right to
regulate and manage It, becoming the
mile guarantor of Its neutrality.
"It was expresHoiy stipulated, rur
theremore, that this guaranty of neu
trality should not prevent thn United
States fiom taking any measures
whlrli It found necessary In order to
secure by Its own forces the defense of
the United States and the maintenance
of public order. Immediately follow
ing this treaty congress passed a law
under which the president was author
ized to endeavor to secure a treaty for
aciiulrlmr tho rlKht to finish the con
struction of, and to operate, thu Pana
ma canal, which had already neon no
gun In the territory of Colombia by a
French company. Thn rights of this
company were accordingly obtained
and a treaty negotiated with tho ,re
publlc of Colombia. Tibs treaty baa
just been ratified by the'senatc. It re
serves all of Colombia's rights, while
guaranteeing all of our own and those
of neutral nations, and specifically per
mits uh to take any measures for the
defense of the canal, whenever In our
Judgment an exigency may arise
which calls ror action on our part. In
other words, these two treaties, and
the leglHlntlon to carry them out, havo
resulted In our obtalulng on exactly
thn terms we desired the rights and
privileges which we had so long sought
In vain. These treaties are among the
most Important that wc have ever
negotiated In their effects upon Ihe
future welfare or this country, and
mark a memorable triumph of Ameri
can diplomacy one. of those fortunate
triumphs, moreover, which reboundH to
the benefit of tho entire world.
Tho Venezuela Trimbles.
"About the same tlmo trouble are-t
In connection with tho republic or Ven
ezuela because of certain wrongs al
leged to have been committed, and
debts overdue, by this republic to citi
zens of various foreign powers, notably
Kugland. KJermany and Italy. After

powers begakj st blockade of, ,thn Vene

needltssly In any' quarrel ho far as It
did not touch our interests or our
honor, and not to take the attitude of
protecting from coercion any power
unless we were willing to espouse th
quarrel of that power, but to keep an
attitude of watchful Algilanco and see
that there was no Infringement of the
Monroe doctrine tto acquirement vof
territorial rights of an European power
at the expense of a. weak sister repub
licwhether this acquisition might,
take the ahapo of an outright and
avowed seizure of territory or of the
exercise or control which would In er
fect be equivalent to such seizure. ThlH
attitude was uxpressed In tho two fol
lowing published memoranda, the first
being the letter addressed by the secre
tary of Btate to the Ocrman ambas
sador, tho second the conversation with
tho secretary of state reported by the
llrltlsh ambassador:
" 'Department of State, Washing
ton, December 16, 1901 H1h Excellency,
Dr. von Hollenbon, etc.: Dear excel
lency: I inclose a memorandum by
way of reply to that which you did
me tho honor to leave with me on Sat
urday, and am, as ever, faithfully,
yours,
" 'JOHN HAT.
'"Memorandum: The president In
his meoHttgc of the 3d of December.
1901, used tho following language:
" 'The Monroe doctrine is a declara
tion that there must be no territorial
aggrandizement by any non-American
power .t tho expense of any American
power on American soil. It Is In no
wise Intended as hostile, to any nation
In the old world.'
"The president further- said:
" 'This doctrine has nothing to do
with the commercial relations of any
American power, savo that It In truth
allows each of them to form such as It
desires. We do not jiuarantoo
any stntc against punishment If It mis
conducts Itself, provided that punish
ment does not take the form of tho ac
quisition of territory by any non
American power.'
Germany's Assurance,
" 'His excellency the German ambas
sador, on his recent return from Uer
lln, conveyed personally to the presi
dent the assurance of tho Oerman em
peror that his majestys government
had no purpose or Intention to mako
even the smallest acquisition of terri
tory on tho South American contl
tent or tho Islands ndjacent. This vol
untary and friendly declaration was
afterwards repeated to tho secretary of
state, and was iccelved by th presi
dent and the people of tho United
States In the frank and cordial spirit
In which It was offered. In the memo
randum of the Uth of December, hlH
excellency the German nmbassador re
peats these assurances as follows: 'Wo
declare, especially that undor no cir
cumstances do we consider In our pro
ceedings the acquisition or the perma
nent occupation of Venezuelan terri
tory.' " 'In the said memorandum of the Uth
of Dscember, the Oerman government
Informs that of the United States that
It has Just claims for money and for
damages wrongfully withheld from
German subjects by the government of
Venezuela, and that It proposes to tako
certain coercive measures described In
tho memorandum to enforce tho pay
ment of these Just claims.
" 'The president of tho United Simon.
.appreciating the courtesy of the Ger
man government in making him ac
quainted with the state or affalis re
ferred to, and not regarding hlrnslf as
called upon to enter Into tho consider
ation of the claims In question, be
lieved that no mensureH will be taken
In thin matter by tho aeents of the
German government which are not In
accordance with the well, known pur
pose, nbovo set forth, of his majesty
tho Gurmau nmpeior.'
'Sir Michael Herbert to the Marquis
of Iansdowne:
" 'WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. 1902. I
communicated to Mr. Hay thin morn
ing tho Biibhtunce of your lordship's
tulegram or tho Uth Inst- ,
.J'7.,llc7':?,lont!y "tlU"' l"reply 'that

they regretted that European powers
should ue foito against Central and
Hottth American countries, could not
obleot to their taking steps to obtain

subjects, provided that no acquisition
of territory was contctnplalcd.'
,n Tli on ; lit nf Vlnlntlmi.
"Until powfttH assured us In explicit
terms that there was not the slightest
Intention on their part to violate, the
principles of the Monroe doctrine, and
this assurance whs kout ulth an hon
orable, good faith whloh merits ac
knowledgment on our part. At the
same time, the existence of hostlllt'eH
In a teglou so near our own borders
wns fraught with such possibilities of
danger lu the future that It was obvi
ously no less our duty to ourvelves than
our duty to humanity to endeavor to .
nu
t an end to that. Accordingly, by mi i
offer of our good services lu a spirit of
rrauk frleiidllncHH to all the parties
concerned, a spirit In which they
quickly and cordially responded, wc
scouted a resumption of peace tho con
tending parties agreeing that the mat
ters which they could not settle among
themselveH should be referred to The
Hiigtin tribunal for settlement. The
United States hud most fortunately al
leady been able to sot an examnlu to
other nations by utilizing the meat
possibilities of good contained In The
Hague tribunal, a question at Issue be
tween ourselves and thu republic of
Mexico being tho first submitted to this
international court of arbitration.
"The terms which we have secured us
those under which the Isthmian canal
Is to be built, and the course of events
In the Venezuela matter, have shown
not merely the ever growing iutluenco
or thu United States 111 tho western
hemlnphere, but also, I think I may
purely say, have exemplified tho firm
purpose or tho I.'nlted States that Us
growth and Inllueneo and power Hhnlt
redound not to the hnrin but to the
benefit of our sister tepubllcs wIiiinu
Htrength Is less. Our growth, thcre'Iore,
Is beneficial to human kind lu general.
Wo do not Intend to iihsuiiio any posi
tion which can give Just offense to our
neighbors. Our adherence to the' rule
of human right Is not merely profes
sion. Tho history of our dealings with
Cuba shows that wc reduce it to per
formance. Hum Itrmaln Cardinal Doctrine,
"The Monroe doctrine Is not Interna
tional law, and though I think one day
It may become such, this Is not neces
sary as long as It remains a cardinal
feature of our foreign policy and as
long as wo possess both the will and
the strength to mnko It effective. This
last point, my fellow citizens, Is nil Im
portant, and is one which as a people
wc can 'never afford to forget. I believe
lu the Monroe doctrine with all my
heart and spulj 1 am convinced that
the majority of our fellow countrymen
so believe in it; but I would Infinitely
prefer to see us abandon It than to see
us put It' forward and bluster about It.
and yet fall to build up the efficient
fighting strength, which In the last
resort can alom make it respected by
any strong foreign power whose Inter
est It may ever happen to be to violate
It.
"Daunting and blustering are as ob
jectionable among nations as among
Individuals, und the publlu men of n
great nation owe it to their sense of
national self-respect to speak cour
teously of foreign powers. Just as a
brave and self-respecting man treats
all around him courteously. Hut though
to boast Is bad, and causelessly to In
sult another, worse; yet worse than
all Is to be guilty of boasthnr, even
without Insult, and when called to th
firoof to bo unable to make such boast
ng Kood. Thern Ik a homely old adage
which runs. 'Speak soffjy and carry-a
big stick;, you Wlll'go far.'ilf thn. ApHIt;

the Monroe doctrine will go far. I asa
you to think over this. If you do. you
will come to tho conciliation thot It la
mere plain common sense, so obviously
sound that only the blind can fall to
see Its truth and only tho weakest and
most Irresolute can fall to desire to put
It Into force.
HiilliJInft- of Ihe Nv.
"Well, In the last two yuars I am
happy to say we have taken lonir
strides In advance as regards our naw.
The last congress, In addition to small
er vessels, provided nine of those for
midable fighting ships upon which the
real efficiency of any navy lu war ulti
mately depends. It provided, moreover,
for the necessary addition of officers
and enlisted men to make tho ships
worth having. Meanwhile the navy de
partment has seen to It that our ships
have been constantly exercised at sea,
with the great guns, and lu maneuver
so that their efficiency as fighting units,
both Individually and when nctlng to
gether, has been steadily Improved.
Itemember thnt all or this Is neces
sary. A war ship is n, huge bit or
mechanism, well-nigh as delicate and
complicated as It Is rormldable. It
takes years to build It. It takes years
to teach tho officers and men how to
handle It to good advantage. It Is an
absolute Impossibility to Improvise a
navy at the outset of war( No recent
war between any two nations has last
ed as long as It takes to build a battle
ship, and it is Just as impossible to im
provise tho officers or the crews ns to
Improvise the navy.
"To lay up a buttleshlp and only Hend
It afloat at tho outset of a war, with n
raw crew and untried officers, would
bo not merelv a folly but a crime, for
It would Invite both disaster and dis
grace. Tho navy which ho quickly de
cided lu our ravor tho war in 1898 hnd
been built and made efficient durllig
the preceding fifteen years. The Hhl.
that triumphed off Manila and Santia
go had been built under previous ad
ministrations with money appropriated
by previous congresses. The officers nnd
tho men did their duty so well because
they had already been trained to It by
long sea service. All honor to the gal
lant oRlcens and gallant men who ac
tually did the fighting; but remember,
too, to honor tho public men. the ship
wrights, nnd Hteel workers, the owners
or the shlpyaids and armor plants, to
whose united foresight and exertion wo
owe It that In 1898 wo had craft so
good, guns so excellent, and American
seamen of so high a type In the con
ning towers, In tho gun turrets, and In
the engine rooms. It lu too lute to pre
pare for war when war has come; and
If wo only prepare sufficiently no war
will ov-r come. We wish a powerful
and efficient i.avy, not for purposes of
war, 'but as tho surest guaranty of
peaco.
"If we have such a navy if wo keep
on building It up we may rest aFsurad
,thut there Is but the smallest chance
that trouble will ever coino to UiIh na
tion, and wo may likewise rest assured
that no foreign power will ever quarrel
with us about the Monruo doctrine."

Chairman Anderson of the llnance,
ways and means committee presented
a report on the salary appropriation
bill yesterday. The net decrease Is
H3.57G below tho total as determined
by tho house. Warner of Dakota, chair
man of tho sifting committee, moved
that the bill be placed at the head of
tho sifting committee's list. This was
agreed to and the measure will be con
sidered today in committee of the
whole. As the report was not reached
until late In the day, the senate thought
best to defer consideration until to
day. Some of tho Items reduced are not In
the nature df changes caused by the
committee. Tor Instance the decrease
of JIG, 000 In the salary or supreme court
commissioners Is following out the ac
tion of the senate In passing a law cut
ting down the number or commission
ers. This bill Is now pending in tho
house and is certain to pass In some
form. Instead of taking a conditional
appropriation for the services of offi
cers of the Norfolk asylum which Is to
he constructed, the senate committee
desires to pay tho superintendent for
one year's work and to provide noth

BERLIN, April 2. The last provis
ion of the meat Inspection law of June
3, 1900, went Into effect quietly yester
day at the ports and throughout tho
empire. This most far-reaching and
sumptunry measure was put In opera
tion piecemeal by occasional doses, the
ministry of the Interior having to
create the Inspection machinery.
Section 12, referring to canned meat"
and sausages, which became effective
September 1, 11)01, further reduced
American imports In that tine, but
boraclc cured beef had been coming In,
though of lntc somewhat less than two
hundred tons per month, roughly val
ued at $70,000, were Imported from
America.
The exporters will endeavor to cure
beef without borax, and thus comply
with the German law, which as It now
appears by no means destroys the
American meat trade here, and It Is
not-Improbable thnt the total American
meat ImportH this year will equal those
or 1901, when the total valuation wns
about J6.000.000.
Owing to tho high prices nnd Insuffi
cient homo supplies more than three
quarters of the Imports of American
meats aro preserved.

ROME. April 2. Senator Vlllarl. In
an address delivered t day before thn
king und queen ut the opmlmr of tho
International historical congress, made
seveial allusions to tho United States.
Ho said Europe was shut In between
tha two great powerful countries, Rus
sia on the east and the Unit
ed Stated on the ttest. The
latter, fiom a population of 30,
000,000, had risen to fcO.Ouo.OOO, nnd no
one kneiv what number Its population
eventually would reach. The United
StateH also had taken tho lend lu all
works if progress and civilization.
Thoic two forces, acting on Europe,
wero lllmly to render necessary .1 union
or the different European countries
w)ilch would completely r linage the
geographical situation to the unlvetsal
advantage of Europe. The senator add
ed that he forenaw and predicted th
twentieth century will perhaps see the
solution or many problems.
"The mixing of the white and blauk
races," ho crntliiued, "brought about
ihe war of secession In the United
States, nnd tho liberation of tho ne
groes from slavery, but this had not
harmonized or nm.ilgnmntcd the two
races, which hate each other now per
haps more, than ever before.
"The I lilted States probably will be

to deal with such gravo and Important
